Topic: Álisson Ramsés Becker

[Son of Spion]

excellent beard and keeper. We needed to up our quota of quality bearded players to work alongside Mo. Imagine a bearded Xabi in the side as well ? I could turn you know.

Steady, now. 

Becker has been great. It's nice not to be panicking that the opposition might score from their first/only shot on goal these days. The improved defence helps big time too, of course, but there is also a real feeling of confidence in the 'keeper now, too.

Signing of the summer for us so far.

That's they key. Despite what happened last night (which had nothing to do with Alisson) it is the fact that there isn`t a sharp intake of breath when he have a 1 goal advantage going into the last phase of a game. These last few years there would be a collective gasp if a corner was given, or there was a foul anywhere near the box. The  confidence he gives to the crowd as well as the players can`t be underestimated. It makes a huge difference. Just look at our blue neighbours with their incessant groans and inevitable booing - hardly fills the players with confidence does it.

[Nessy76]

To be fair to Karius, we conceded absolutely fuck all from corners with hame as no1 either.

True, but people still shat themselves, and apparently that's the keeper's fault.

Another huge performance from Alisson last night, our best player out there on the night.

[jooneyisdagod]

So glad we have him now. I had really forgotten what a top keeper looked like and Alisson has reminded me of what that is. In other news, Karius dropped yet another absolute clanger.

I know, those 90th minute corner used to get us really nervous. I am still nervous about it but VVD and Alisson really stop us crapping ourselves and hurling pizzas onto the tv.

Was really bad too. The guy is shot.

It makes a massive difference, let's hope it stays that way.

You can't overestimate how vital to the team those two are, they've really made a difference.

[Gazza-LFC]

Without him we lose that. Well in our beautiful Brazilian. 

[Keith Lard]

Allison and Van Dijk - they are immense.

[kloppismydad]

Even if Mahrez put his penalty on target, Alisson had guessed the right way and would have probably saved it with his massive arm sticking up.

Oh, and hopefully he didn't vote for the facist candidate in the elections today.

Looks like that bastard won it with 46% anyways

[Sheer Magnetism]

Looks superb so far, a Van Dijk level signing. I also love how he looks as if he should be wearing a roll neck and refilling a pipe.

[sinnermichael]

On the shortlist for the Ballon d'Or.

Who are you calling short? The guy is a colossus

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Not according to the brains trust on GOT.
£130m wasted on a clown keeper and an oaf of a centre back.
Perhaps I imagined the improvement in defence since Van Dijk's arrival which has continued since Allisson.

[Dr. Beaker]

He's obviously been studying Pickford - almost got a hand to that pelanty.

Hahah I just snorted laughing at my desk in work at that!!!!

Same applies to VVD. We need to sign more players who look like they could be conversing about jazz, whiile wearing a beret

[Dr. Beaker]

There's also a touch of arctic explorer/Everest climber there too.

Short-list? Pickford has to be there too then.

I read GOT as Game of Thrones. I was wondering why the Lannister and Stark families were downplaying our magnificent goalkeeper and defender!

Apologies to the blues from across the park. Good judge of player they are, and clearly we’ve got a couple of dodgy signings in Alisson and VVD.

[G Richards]

Authority.

That’s the word to sum them up. All the great teams have players with this. They take things personally, as if to say, “Not on my watch.” Both Alisson and VVD have it, and with other good players to make up the back five, the whole unit has been transformed.

[Zoomers]

A nice time to reflect on his start so far. He has been excellent really, saved us a shitload of times. And his mistake against Leiciester hasn't held him back, I felt he was a bit nervous a few times after that incident but after that he was on point again.

All hail Alisson.

Hahaha Brilliant

And on stage - Joe Gomez on double bass, Trent on piano,  Mane on trumpet, Gini on tenor sax, Shaq on drums.

Rabiot in Jan, then? And oddly, I could totally see Shaqiri in a beret.

Hahaha, excellent shouts, all. And quite obviously Linda Pizzuti Henry on vocals.

Bastid! I missed a good one there!

Joined by Sadio now.

[disgraced cake]

Well done on the nomination, he only conceded 28 goals in Serie A last season and hopefully he lets in even less this season. It's not impossible.

There's a Prince song in there somewhere.

But, like man, he's real square.

He wore a
Shaaaaqiri beret
The kind you find in a Liverpool store
Shaaaaqiri beret
And if at West Brom he wouldn't wear much more
Shaaaaqiri beret
He's Dejan, he's Dejan, he's Dejan Loooooovren

Yeah, Robbo is the only one of the back 5 that doesn't fit the jazzy, "too cool for you" dynamic. He's the geek even the popular kids love.

I don't know, he's really been revelation. Maybe he could surprise us all with a bit of heavy-metal jazz bagpipe.
